Hello,
Toni, that's the question !
:-)
Good news :) I'will go into the source code.
If you have a link to point me to the right direction, i take it ;)
Sure, you have to provide the same methods as the Ifcfg class in
vdsm/netconf/ifcfg.py
So basically taking netdev objects and using them to then call
open vSwitch to create them.
You can also look at the ongoing vdsm/netconf/iproute2.py for
another example.
There are some extra considerations to take care about, like persistence
and such (the patches are being finished now for a way to keep the
persistence equal across configurators, as long as they follow some
rules).
I'm usually in #vdsm at freenode should you want to contact me.
Best,
Toni

Hi Benoit,
If the question is: "can we write a network plugin so that networks are
defined in open vSwitch instead of in traditional linux bonds, vlans and
bridges"; the answer is yes. The language to do that is Python and the
correct oVirt component to do it in is vdsm. Now we have an ifcfg
configurator
and a partial iproute2 configurator. The task would be to make an open
vSwitch
one.
Best regards,
Toni
